Shangguan Zhou narrowed his eyes and watched Ming Lanruo restrain his smile: "So, Lan Ruo, you still don't believe that I have my whole heart for you?"
Ming Lanruo stood up and said calmly: "Your Highness's thoughts should go to your wives and concubines, not to me."
She was actually annoyed by Shangguan Zhou's hypocritical and affectionate appearance. Compared to being cruel and ruthless, he was as good as Shangguan Hongye.
Seeing Ming Lanruo turning around to leave, Shangguan Zhou's gentle voice sounded again: "Lan Ruo, have you really never seen Shangguan Hongye?"
Ming Lanruo paused, looked at him, and said without changing her expression: "No."
Shangguan Zhou picked up the tea cup and took a sip politely: "Okay, Gu believes that Lan Ruo will not lie to Gu. After all, in this world, people who are unstable at both ends usually do not end well."
The lobby surrounded by guards became quiet for a while, and the atmosphere in the air became colder, just like the cold rain outside the window.
Ming Lanruo nodded: "His Royal Highness is right, but Lanruo is a layman and won't get up early if there is no benefit. As long as we can get benefits like we did in the palace last time, of course we can continue to cooperate in the future."
She paused and smiled again: "But if there is no benefit and you just use your words to deceive people into working for free, that's called shameless, don't you think?"
She spoke extremely bluntly, so bluntly that she almost didn't save Shangguan Zhou any face.
The captain of the guard on the side scolded with a cold face: "How dare the princess be so rude and presumptuous to the prince!"
Ming Lanruo turned a deaf ear and looked out the window: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, the Queen Mother has sent someone to pick me up."
Shangguan Zhou followed her gaze and saw that there were indeed guards from Tangquan Palace escorting a palace carriage towards the inn.
His expression darkened, but within a moment, he returned to his usual gentle look: "Lan Ruo may have misunderstood Gu. I'll see you off to the car."
Ming Lanruo actually admired Shangguan Zhou's ability to endure. If it were Shangguan Hongye, he would probably yell at her.
"Then it's time to work." She smiled, did not refuse Shangguan Zhou's company, and walked out of the inn together.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Jinghe immediately jumped out of the car.
She politely bowed to the prince first, and then looked at Ming Lanruo with a little worry: "Miss, are you... okay?"
The prince actually appeared here. Did he find something?
Ming Lanruo shook his head and said suggestively: "I'm fine, Jinghe, go and call Mr. Nameless and ask him to take our original carriage back to the Hot Spring Palace."
Jinghe nodded, and suddenly thought of another person: "What about Yin Shusheng?"
Ming Lanruo's face looked a little strange, and she coughed slightly: "I must call him, but you remember to knock on the door first to see if he... has packed up."
Jinghe nodded a little confused: "Okay..."
"No need, Xiaosheng has already packed up." A gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone.
Everyone looked around and saw a thin, fair scholar wearing a half-worn robe slowly coming out carrying an old baggage.
Everyone present looked slightly weird.
Scholar Yin had a few veins bulging on his forehead, his face was pale and pale, he suppressed his displeasure and got into the carriage expressionlessly.
Jing He stopped him unhappily: "Hey, men and women ride in different carriages. How can you ride in the princess's carriage? You have to sit..."
Ming Lanruo shook her head sympathetically: "Forget it, forget it, go make arrangements for Mr. Nameless first."
Jinghe was a little confused, but he still helped Ming Lanruo get into the car, then hurriedly turned around and went into the inn to make arrangements.
The prince and other people who "knew the inside story" felt that Jing He was making such a fuss, after all...
What else could he do to the dignified princess? She was just a "sister" if she said anything bad about her.
After a while, Jinghe followed another carriage and drove out.
"Wait a minute, this carriage needs to be searched to prevent assassins from hiding inside!" The captain of the guard suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the carriage.
Jing He became nervous instantly and instinctively looked at Ming Lanruo.
Oops, that car... This chapter has been completed!
